It takes a village to stifle Hill. He says that Ethel Waters wasn't afraid to die. She looked forward to it. That's because she was talented and lived a full life. Not because it applies in any way to this episode.
Glynn, drinking. They go together like a wink and a smile, don't they? In walks Boreia, the queen of all she persuades. She's taking off for the night. "Unless you need me to do something?" Leo TMIs, "Today, I had to call on my best friend's widow and inform her that her only child was dead, that he died in my arms, same as his father." He tells her there is one more thing she can do. Take a letter. The letter is to resign as warden of Oswald State Correctional Facility. She argues, he insists he does shit, she says let's have dinner and I'll show you my nipple ring. He says, no thanks, he's heading out to comfort the mom of the deceased boy and his WIFE will be there. With that, he leaves, while she says nothing and sits with a deep exhale. She crumples up the letter of resignation. I realize this letter is to be a cliffhanger, and I don't mean to ruin it but…I'm quite sure he'll be back. Stupid itchy Glynn.
The Ass-ketball court. McFeignus shoots some hoops. Murphy enters and catches the ball as it goes through the basket. McManus has a sweat stain on his t-shirt. Oh, ew! Murphy asks Tim how Dave is doing. McManus says he out of the hospital, but "his leg's all fucked up." He will never play basketball again. I never saw that one coming. Tim throws another basket. Murphy hedges that he heard the tournament was called off, and that it was McMartyr's decision. Tim's all, "So, what's the difference?" Murphy tells him he wants to take Dave's place, and then takes it a step further by saying, "I want you and I to play the last game together." Could someone get these crazy kids an Air Supply CD and some candles? Love is in the air. Oh God, it gets better! McManus throws the ball at him and snaps, "Fuck you!" Murphy, that big lug, catches the ball and asks if it's because he turned Murphy down the first time. That's affirmative, Red Leader. We have bogus at twelve o'clock. Murphy says, "Fine, fuck me then." I laugh and laugh and laugh some more while kicking my feet in glee. They SO want each other. Conversation ensues about teaching the inmates about putting their minds to something, but I can't make it out through my medicated giggles.
Basketball time. We see more sweat and white legs. Jackson fouls McManus and as the ref tries to call foul, Busmalis moons the ref…and all of us. He has ass hair, and I'll just leave it at that. The inmates boo every time the staff scores. Sister Pete cheers a lot throughout the game. We keep getting shots of the scorecard so we know that they're gaining points but not enough to beat Jackson. The game ends, and the staff has been trounced.
